Riot ゲーム Reveals Hush as VALORANT’s Next Duelist From China

Riot ゲーム officially confirmed Hush as VALORANT‘s next Agent, a telekinetic Duelist hailing from Guangdong, China, who joins the roster on Oct. 27.

The reveal came ahead of the VCT Champions 2026 grand finals between LOUD and Team Vitality on Oct. 18, when Riot showcased the trailer for the new Agent according to a report by Dotesports.

Hush wears a full black outfit and a pink hime haircut. At first glance, she may recall a mix of characters including Shion from VALORANT, Psylocke from Marvel, or Yukio from Deadpool 2.

Unlike previous Agent reveals during VCT events, there was no creator showmatch ahead of the grand finals to witness Hush in action. ゲームプレイ details will likely be revealed later closer to her release date.

The cinematic trailer offered a glimpse of her abilities, building on a teaser that Riot posted several days ago in which Hush interrogated someone in an alley and levitated a knife with her powers.

In the cinematic, set to a song by Karencici, Hush took down a group of gangsters in a restaurant. She was seen using her abilities to steal a Ghost and move objects around, then throwing a die aside before dashing to it to catch enemies off guard.

As a Duelist, that dash is likely her unique way of taking space, which may require setup similar to Yoru’s Gatecrash. Other abilities shown in the trailer include a flash grenade, a pull resembling Astra’s Gravity Well, and an anti-gravity zone that lifts enemies for cleanup — the latter likely serving as Hush’s Ultimate.

Riot ゲーム is expected to share more details closer to her Oct. 27 release.
